    • Provide regular updates and insights to classroom teachers regarding student behavior, progress, and strategies.
  • Skill Development & Transfer:
    • Actively facilitate the understanding and implementation of behavior strategies by classroom teachers and other relevant staff.
    • Strategically work to relinquish control of behavior management back to the classroom teacher as student skills develop and the teacher demonstrates increased capacity.
    • Provide coaching and modeling to teachers on effective behavior management techniques.
  • Problem-Solving & Adaptability:
    • Proactively identify and address emergent behavioral issues, seeking guidance from the behavior consultant when necessary.
    • Demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in responding to changing student needs and school priorities.
